<p><b>Enblend</b>
overlays multiple images so as to make the seam invisible. It works with a broad range of image file formats and supports images with 8, 16 or 32 bit (HDR floating point) per channel.
</p><p>Enblend is used as a plug-in for PTGui<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTGui">[*]</a>, <a href="Hugin.html" title="Hugin">Hugin</a> and PTAssembler<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTAssembler">[*]</a> or standalone from the command line or by Enblend Front End<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/Enblend_Front_End">[*]</a>.
</p><p>Some main features include:
</p>
<ul><li>Adjusts the seam line to avoid areas of mismatch between source images such as <a href="Parallax.html" title="Parallax">parallax</a> errors</li>
<li>Supports saving and loading masks</li></ul>
<p>Enblend and the full documentation (manuals for each version and a "NEWS" link for the release notes) is available from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://enblend.sourceforge.net/">project site</a>.

<h2><a name="Development"><span class="mw-headline">Development</span></a></h2>
<p>enblend is Open Source, and as such very much dependent on voluntary contributions of resources. If you have coding skills, you are welcome to look at the source code and contribute to it. Even if you don't have coding skills, you most likely have some skills that the project could use and you are more than welcome to contribute your time. The tasks requiring attention change frequently and so do the required skillset and resources. Join the hugin-ptx mailing list to find out what is going on at the moment and how you can help. Even just testing and giving feedback help.
